*
A separate model was created for each health status subscale within each disease category.
†
One model was created for each disease category. The 3 models are adjusted for all other disease-specific subscales, comorbidity, age, gender, race, marital status, education, income, employment, VA clinic site, length of care, non-VA care, recent clinic visit, and continuity of care.
‡
Unstandardized coefficients for each 10-point change in health status score.
